In 2023, the value of fresh brown seaweeds production in capture fisheries in France was 1.8778 million euros. From 2024 to 2028, a steady decline in forecasted values is noted, with a year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.2% to 2.4%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period indicates an average annual reduction of around 2.25%.
Future trends to monitor include the impact of sustainable fishing practices, potential shifts in regulatory frameworks for marine biodiversity conservation, and the influence of climate change on seaweed habitat and growth conditions. Additionally, technological advancements in efficient seaweed harvesting could alter the current projections.
